famine queen

Chapter 31
After digging chestnuts all day, before falling asleep, Jin Mang remembered one thing.

"That cannibal tribe seems to have no women?" Her tone was not very sure.

Qingsui was not surprised when she heard the words, "The difficulty of single men is that they have no children to support them, and the difficulty of single women...is that they cannot support children. Generally, the tribe will abandon bachelors, but they will not abandon single women. Even Some tribes will let other members surround the single woman's territory, which plays a certain protective role. As long as the single woman raises one child, she will be considered settled in old age, but..."

She sighed and said, "How many women can remain indifferent when watching their children die young or starve to death one by one? So Mangman, before you become strong, if you see single women, don't Sympathize with them."

She gave an example: "When I was a child, I met a single woman on the migration road. Her daughter starved to death, and her tears were all shed. She just sat on the side of the road in a daze holding her daughter's body. No one went to comfort her. I was stupid at that time, and I still felt that she was very pitiful, so I went up to comfort her, but... I was almost strangled to death by her. "

"If your father didn't find out in time and called your grandfather, I would really die."

"Why?" Jin Mang couldn't understand.

"Because she is jealous that I can live while her daughter is dead." Qingsui sighed.

Jin Mang was a little speechless.

She has a very big heart, the word sensitive doesn't fit her at all, and she has never tasted jealousy.

Jin Meili can study at a young age, and she can easily pass the No. 1 exam. Both teachers and parents like to use her as a positive teaching material to motivate everyone.Under such circumstances, her "other people's child" was often repelled and envied by her children.

Zhong Xiuxiu's grades are mediocre, but her family is rich, and she is heartless and doesn't look at people. She always shows off the expensive snacks and toys her father bought for her. Everyone flatters her and hopes to take advantage of her. , Actually, I don't know how much I envy her.

As a young boy who grew up with these two people, Jin Mang never felt jealous towards them.Obviously she has neither outstanding grades nor a wealthy family, and she is still an orphan who has no parents and is secretly looked down upon by others.

Jin Meili used to praise her for having a "heart of gold" jokingly.

So at this moment, she really couldn't understand the thoughts of that single woman.

But if she didn't understand, she didn't understand, she still remembered Qingsui's words.

When the British tribe left from Chestnut Mountain, not only were the grain trucks piled to the brim, but everyone carried chestnuts at least [-] to [-] catties on their backs.

After a day's journey, they met another migratory tribe when they were resting at night.

It was a tribe with more people than them. The two sides looked at each other and tacitly chose a place to camp.

Jinmang and Landuo Lanyu leaned together to eat chestnuts, and the twin sisters couldn't help but look at the tribe next to them curiously.

"They have a lot of children."

"Yes, and a lot of girls."

"That's great. It would be great if we could get even with us."

……

Jin Mang didn't care about the childish words of the two young ladies, and they met a lot of girls from this tribe, or...too much.

She finds it a bit strange, isn't it up to the man to have a boy or a girl?In Anze's situation, the gap between male and female ratio would not be so big.

Jin Mang secretly counted, there are 12 children under the age of 9 in that tribe, and there is only one boy among them; there are 18 teenagers under the age of 12, but there are only two boys.

This is too sad.

Looking at the adult members, there are also women in the majority and men in the minority.Probably because of this, the team over there is far less calm than them, and they look a little bit more embarrassed and more haggard.

Until going to bed, both sides were in peace, and the next morning, everyone left separately, because the destination was the same, so everyone was on the same road.

The prey was getting less and less, fortunately there were chestnuts for extra food, otherwise Jinmang and the others would starve.

Another tribe had a hard time. Jin Mang once saw the children in their team chewing bark and grass roots.

After that, the two tribes camped in similar places several times, and the two tribes gradually began to intersect.

That tribe is called Youyuan tribe, and it is said that there are many girls from generation to generation.

"That Youyuan tribe has an alliance tribe, that's why it's like this." Qingfeng explained to Jin Mang: "Although there is a gap in the number of men and women in a general tribe, the gap is not so big, and it won't be like this from generation to generation. .Like we have the British tribe, it is said that your grandma’s generation has more women than men.”

"What is the alliance tribe?" Jin Mang asked without understanding.

Qing Feng thought for a while and said: "To put it bluntly, they only mate and reproduce with one tribe. In this way, the two tribes have a deep connection, and when it comes to a critical moment, they can unite to deal with the enemy."

Jin Mang suddenly realized, isn't this a marriage?

She thought she was just listening to gossip, and the affairs of the Youyuan tribe had nothing to do with them, but that night, before they slept, the head of the Youyuan tribe over there walked over here.

What is this going to do?
Lan Ya and the brothers looked at each other with some doubts.

The head of the Youyuan tribe is a tall man named Huang Ye. Just looking at his tendons and aura, he knows that his strength is not far behind.

Huang Ye got straight to the point, and said to Lan Ya, "Have any of you British tribes considered changing sons?"

Swap?

Jin Mang frowned, was that what she understood?

"I know this." Qing Ke, Lan Duo Lan Yu's fourth brother, said: "It's a tribe with more boys and fewer girls and a tribe with more girls and fewer boys to exchange children."

Jin Mang glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid that your second aunt and third uncle will send you out?"

"No, I'm getting old." Qing Ke was not fooled, "And children who have already remembered things like Heilong are not good. If the second uncle agrees, it must be replaced with a child born after the split season. When the child is born Just change it, it’s no different from your own.”

"Will the second uncle agree?" Lan Duo asked curiously.

"Probably not." It was her second brother Lu Kui who spoke.

"Why?" Lan Yu was puzzled.

Lukui said with a heart in his chest: "Second Uncle would not want his own blood to become an enemy in the future, and...for a tribe like the Youyuan tribe that is allied with others, the situation is more complicated. If you don't understand clearly, Second Uncle will not make a decision."

Sure enough, Lan Ya refused without hesitation.

Wilderness was not discouraged, but changed his proposal: "Then do you want to form an alliance with us?"
